How to String a Wind Chime
Wind chimes are beautiful to look at and listen to, but the strings can often become tangled, bent and cut from use. Instead of throwing away these decorative wind chimes, you can save them by restringing them with new nylon strings. Once the wind chimes are restrung, you can hang them back up and enjoy their pleasantness. In order to successfully restring the wind chimes, it is helpful to follow a few guidelines on measuring out the string.
